Get plenty of rest, and drink lots of fluids. Take whatever meds you tend to take for such things… And ask the indulgence of your readers, that you take another week off. The Plague(tm) has hit the LeftWing household this … Continue reading →

Hello!  And welcome back to the Radical Left-wing Survivalist Blog, as we kick off another glorious year of wondering, “what fresh hell is this?” I hope your sojourn with us last year was worthwhile, and that your year went well; … Continue reading →

A Quick WTH?

Posted on 11/21/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

This week (and, in fact, probably the rest of the year) is going to be a short one. I hope to expand it into a quasi-regular offering, which I’ll tentatively call “Conspiracy Corner.” An acquaintance of my wife’s recently expressed … Continue reading →

Almost There

Posted on 09/12/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

At least, in the Northern Hemisphere. “Almost where?” Well, really, pick your place. (“Hell in a handbasket?” Why, yes…) Fall is also almost here, with all that entails–we had our first delivery of firewood this week, which means that 1) … Continue reading →

Watching the World Burn

Posted on 08/29/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, well, the Amazon, anyway. And if Dear Leader has his way, likely the wilds of Alaska soon, too. And now, as I type this, he’s apparently considering “changing the rules,” such that the children of U.S. Servicemembers born overseas … Continue reading →

Recovery Mode

Posted on 08/15/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Thanks, everyone, for your concern regarding my finger. I went through a full antibiotics regime, and the infection has been gone ever since. Now it’s just a question of letting the cells repair themselves, and getting the swelling to go … Continue reading →

Fixing It

Posted on 08/01/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, rather, fixing me. I’m going to keep this short, unfortunately, as I’m experiencing a very slight, very local “sort-of” emergency. To wit, I got an injury–stabbed by a rose thorn–on my hand, and it’s infected, and swollen like a … Continue reading →

Or Better Yet, Try to Fix It

Posted on 07/18/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

We’re back! I hope everyone had a pleasant Independence Day, despite the shenanigans going on in the Capitol. Speaking of such, how about the mess Dear Leader has gotten himself into over this last week? Despite anything his apologists might … Continue reading →

Words Have Meaning

Posted on 06/20/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Short-ish rant, this week. I’m struck by the apparent notion that a variety of things that would benefit the populace at large, or at least large chunks of it, are all “socialism.” At least, so sayeth our esteemed Senate Majority … Continue reading →

Government Showdown

Posted on 05/09/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

As I write this, on Wednesday afternoon, things on Capitol Hill have gotten a bit testy. (Well, okay, testier than usual.) The White House is refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas, which is pretty much unheard of. The House is … Continue reading →
